Liberal comedian and actor Michael Rapoport made a statement on Monday denouncing the ongoing anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, calling them 'not the New York way' and an 'embarrassment to New York City.'
Speaking near Columbia University, Rapoport expressed his strong disapproval of the protesters, referring to them as 'bullies,' 'cowards,' and 'pathetic, low-life scumbags.' He emphasized the importance of freeing hostages and eradicating Hamas.
Rapoport's passionate speech prompted a crowd to join in chanting 'bring them home!' in support of the effort to free hostages.
Addressing the Jewish community, Rapoport urged young Jewish individuals to be proud and vocal about their identity. He encouraged them not to be afraid of being Jewish, especially in a diverse city like New York, where people should feel safe and accepted regardless of their race, religion, or sexuality.
Rapoport's message resonated with many, as he called for unity and strength in the face of adversity. His words serve as a reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice and discrimination.
